[No Quarter]

@chris-b said in Tri Series Cricket:

So - the final against the unbeaten Australians tonight. Notably, they have bowled first and won all four of their matches.

Given my expectation that whomever bats first is going to be thinking they might need 250, my strategy would be to win the toss and let the Aussies go for it.

They may go too hard and get themselves in trouble - or they may not go quite hard enough.

Yeah, get the bowling out of the way and back our in-form batsmen to chase anything looks to be the best tactic.

I reckon we'll win, purely down to Oz being unbeaten 😁 caveat is that if we lose I suspect we'll get pumped. Hard.

having the final of such a massive tournament on a Wednesday is so strange

The whole tournament seems to have been scheduled by blindfolded drunks paying darts.

Tactic yes. It is more likely to be fill them up with pies and get to bed early.

I think you mean Santners optometrist

Kane wins the toss and chooses to bat.

Warner says he's happy to chase.

I bet he is!

Absolutely not what I would have done.

@chris-b well that's us fucked.

[Bovidae]

Aussie has batted second in every T20 game so I would have made them set a target.

Yeah - it's like we've called nine spades without the joker and are leading with the two bowers.

It could be all over very quickly.

[Bovidae]

Hesson just said that it is a used pitch which should get slower so they wanted to bat first. Aust would have bowled anyway.

Too obvious!

I'll be very pissed if we lose a couple of early wickets and limp to 137.

[mariner4life]

it's traditional for our best batsman of a tournament to absolutely fail in the final isn't it?

[KiwiMurph]

@mariner4life and out goes Guppy.

[Paekakboyz]

ffs @mariner4life!!

[KiwiMurph]

so Aussie have no problems playing their speed merchant Stanlake in the T20s but the Black Caps don't play Ferguson in T20s because.... ?

[Bovidae]

I think Guptill decided it was stand and deliver time with his sore toe.

Think you missed the sarcasm

137 predicted earlier is looking pretty spot on
